In many countries homosexuality is still forbidden and punished, with penalties sometimes harsher than for those who rape or murder

Sex between two consenting adults is punished sometimes harsher in some countries than those who rape or murder?? Unbelievable . . .

A little off topic but what struck me is how much we hear of this one recently

☆Iran Yes For menrison - Death. Situation unclear with women - No No

And how little we hear of this one

☆Saudi Arabia Yes Death - No No

I've said this before, and I see a need to be redundant-
Nobody cares what a guy or a girl does with their gizmo-
Not churches, not parents, not doctors or judges (unless it wasn't mutually consenting ).
I can't fathom why gay people are discriminated against so harshly-
I've read the bible you know, and Jesus never said :" thou shalt not do the nasty" and who cares what Leviticus said- he's just a man, and by the sound of him, a jilted in his youth man. So go ahead- get married, put your soul mate on your companies insurance and by all means please continue to design things- as a straight with 9 children, all I ask is please don't get so outrageously gay outside OK? well never mind- go ahe...

In many countries homosexuality is still forbidden and punished, with penalties sometimes harsher than for those who rape or murder; in some instances even with death penalty like in the Saudi Arabia or in the Chechen Republic. In such a situation, it’s a pleasure to report that yesterday the South African Parliament overwhelmingly approved (230 votes against 41) the legalization of same-sex marriages. </p> <P class="entry-more-link">
